Help to find HSM reason code

[Antonyraj85]

Hi Team,

We got the below error message on system. We managed to fix the issue by below link.

Error MSG:
ARC0744E MCDS COULD NOT BE BACKED UP, RC=0012, ARC0744E (CONT.) REAS=0016. MIGRATION, BACKUP, FRBACKUP, DUMP, AND ARC0744E (CONT.) RECYCLE HELD.

But still, we are not able to find reason code(REAS=0016) for the error and we used DSS service for MCDS backup. Anyone from this forum can help us ??



Kind regards,
Antony

Try the ARC messages manual:

16
An error was encountered allocating the data set suggested by dsid. reascode identifies the error returned by the allocation routine.

So, I guess, you now need to look for the allocation routine's messages.

Hi Nic,


Thanks.

No it is Return Code=12 and,

"The data movement function could not be successfully completed.
reascode describes the return code from the IDCAMS EXPORT or
DFSMSdss function."

Like to know reason code meaning.

The z/OS 2.1 Information Center has this for reason code 16:

16, 20,

and 24
See message ARC0500I or ARC0503E issued before this message was issued. The appropriate message indicates the dynamic allocation return and reason codes.

No it is Return Code=12 and,

but you are asking about the reason code 16 for that message id (ARC0774E) not return code 12.

HI Nic and Bob,

I am able to locate the meaning of Return code:12(The data movement function could not be successfully completed.
reascode describes the return code from the IDCAMS EXPORT or
DFSMSdss function) .But couldnt locate Reason code. I had search on MVS Authorized Assembler Services Guide(Dynamic Allocation part). But no use. Also, we are running z/OS 1.13 and surprised 'IBM Lookat is sunset from z/OS V2.1'.

Have you looked at the ARC messages as recommended in the manual? If not, why not?
